Preobrazhensky District Court of Moscow Orders City Property Department (DGI) to Sign Social Tenancy Agreement with Capital Resident After 20-Year Struggle

The court ruled in favor of a Moscow woman who had been unable to legally secure her right to housing for over 20 years. The case was successfully resolved thanks to the expert representation of Mamed Aliyev, lead lawyer at Palulin & Partners.

Case Background: 37 Years on the Waiting List and Broken Promises

The client’s family had been on the housing registry since 1988, and their apartment was deemed dilapidated. In 2000, they were temporarily relocated but never granted a social tenancy agreement, leaving them in legal limbo.

Despite multiple appeals to the DGI, the woman faced rejections under various pretexts:

  • The department cited a waiting list of 1,786 families;

  • Ignored her priority right to housing;

  • Attempted to invoke the statute of limitations, even though the violation was ongoing.

Legal Argument: The Law Is on the Citizens’ Side

Mamed Aliyev, representing the client, stated:
"Our client’s family had a priority right to housing since their previous apartment was declared uninhabitable. Placing them in the general queue was a direct violation of housing laws. The DGI avoided its obligations for years, but the court confirmed: such cases have no expiration date."

Outcome: Justice Restored

On May 14, 2025, the court fully upheld the claim, ordering the DGI to:
✔ Sign a social tenancy agreement with the plaintiff;
✔ Recognize her priority right to housing;
✔ Comply with the ruling within the set deadline.

This landmark decision sets a precedent for thousands of Muscovites facing similar challenges.

Why Professional Legal Help Matters

The case proves that even in complex bureaucratic battles, justice is achievable. Key success factors included:

  • In-depth analysis of housing legislation;

  • Proving continuous rights violations;

  • Strategic litigation in court.
